A 912 Compact Litronic Liebherr Excavator Specs & Dimensions - (2016 - 2020)

Compact, Flexible – Perfect Combination for Maximum Performance

Restricted construction sites in city centres, road construction, as well as classic earthmoving work, are an easy task for Liebherr Compact wheeled excavators. The combination of capacity, speed and compact machine dimensions ensure optimal flexibility on all construction sites.

Joystick Steering

With the optional joystick steering, the driver can steer the wheeled excavator proportionally using the mini joystick. In this way, working and driving movements can be performed at the same time without having to change controls. More efficient operation for even greater productivity.

Comfort and Efficiency Features

Numerous details provide greater comfort and efficiency. For example, there is a choice of two different steering wheel versions: The thin steering wheel is recommended for regular civil engineering work as it affords better visibility of the working area. Additionally, the stabiliser blade does not have any lubrication points and is maintenance-free, eliminating the need for time-consuming lubrication.

Service Every Step of the Way – Simple, Fast and Reliable

Liebherr compact wheeled excavators are not only powerful, robust, precise and efficient, they also impress with the service-orientated machine design. Maintenance is performed quickly, simply and safely. This reduces maintenance costs and keeps machine downtimes to a minimum.

Service-based Machine Design

The service-based machine design guarantees short servicing times, thus minimising maintenance costs due to the time it saves. All the maintenance points are easily accessible from the ground and easy to reach due to the large, wide-opening service doors. The enhanced service concept places the maintenance points close to each other and reduces their number to a minimum. This means that service work can be completed even more quickly and efficiently.

Being Faster

The engine power was increased significantly for greater acceleration and better performance especially on slopes. The full engine power is available in driving mode when the joysticks are deactivated. The speed of the machine can be easily adapted to the different applications using the MODE switch.

Engine Idling and Engine Shut-down

The standard automatic idling function reduces the engine speed to idle as soon as the operator takes his hand from the joystick so that no hydraulic function is activated. Proximity sensors in the joystick levers restore the original engine speed as soon as the operator's hand is moved towards the lever again. This ensures that the set engine speed is available immediately. The result is a combination of fuel saving and reduced noise levels. Operating costs can be reduced even further with the optional automatic engine shut-down function.

Noise Reduction

The use of viscoelastic mounts, good insulation and low-noise diesel engines from Liebherr minimises noise emissions and vibrations.

Automatic Digging Brake

The optional digging brake means that manual actuation of the brake pedal is no longer necessary in some applications. Particularly in applications with a frequent transfer of the excavator, this leads to quicker work processes and thus increases safety for people and the machine.

Liebherr Working Tools and LIKUFIX

To boost the productivity of its construction machines, Liebherr offers a broad range of working tools for different fields of application. Furthermore, the hydraulic excavators can also be equipped with the Liebherr LIKUFIX hydraulic quick coupling system. The combination of a hydraulic Liebherr quick coupling system with the LIKUFIX coupling block permits fast safe changing of mechanical and hydraulic working tools from the operator's cabin. This boosts productivity on average by 30 %.

Hydraulic Oils with Added Value

Liebherr hydraulic oils achieve a service life of 6,000 operating hours plus. Instead of having defined change intervals, the results of the oil analysis (every 1,000 operating hours or after one year) determine when the oil needs to be changed. The unique Liebherr Hydraulic Plus oil can even achieve a service life of 8,000 operating hours plus at the same time reducing fuel consumption by up to 5 %.

Maintenance without Draining the Oil

A cut-off valve isolating the oil reservoir from the hydraulic system is fitted as standard. This allows simple maintenance work to be performed on the hydraulic components without having to drain off the hydraulic fluid. Reduced maintenance time for greater machine availability.

Operator's Seat Options

The Standard, Comfort and Premium operator seat versions available have recognized orthopedic properties, and offer sitting comfort at the highest level. Even the standard operator seat offers an extensive range of features such as air suspension, seat heating, headrest, lumbar support and many more.
